Fellow travelers tend to advise to get out of Manila as soon as possible. We were curious and decided to stay two full days in the capital city of the Philippines. And we liked it! Our nice hotel was located in Intramuros, the old walled city within the city built by the Spanish Colonials. We loved the Rizal Park and the awesome water/light/music show by nighttime. :) The people were very friendly and we were happy to finally enjoy tropical weather again!
